A posh San Antonio home that once belonged to the family of one of Mexico's most famous entertainers may be up for sale soon.

A judge granted a request Wednesday from federal prosecutors to sell the home at 10 Kings Heath in The Dominion because taxpayers are footing the bill for its maintenance.

The nearly 3,800-square-foot home, valued at $530,000, once belonged to a son of Grammy winner Vicente Fernández, who's known as the king of ranchera music. But it most recently was in the news because the feds want to seize it as part of a money-laundering investigation against its recent owners.

The current owner, Hilda Riebeling Cordero, did not oppose the sale. The money will go into a bank account until a civil forfeiture case filed by the government is resolved.

Riebeling Cordero's husband, Mauricio Sánchez Garza, is under indictment in San Antonio on charges of laundering millions of dollars for Mexican drug cartels and extorting a former business partner out of a valuable movie script.

The government is seeking forfeiture of The Dominion house and other properties around San Antonio as part of the case against Sánchez.

He obtained the home from former business partners, one of whom told DEA agents that the house was owned by one of Fernández's sons, Alejandro Fernández, who's also a well-known pop star in Mexico. Deed records confirm it once was owned by the Fernández family.

The indictments allege Maurico and his brother, Alejandro Sánchez Garza, laundered drug money by buying properties in San Antonio and invested in other ventures, including the now-closed Barbaresco Tuscan Grill and Enotica restaurant on San Pedro Avenue.

No drug allegations have been made against the Fernández family.

While Alejandro Sánchez turned himself in last month, the government says Mauricio Sánchez is a fugitive, and told U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez that no other parties have stepped forward with a valid interest or claim in the home.

Taxing entities and lien-holders do not oppose the sale, so the judge granted the request.

The government also wants to sell a vacant lot at 56 Eton Green Circle, also in The Dominion, that it seized as part of the same investigation.

But attorney Jason Davis, who represents the lot owner, Carlos Andres Rodriguez Valle, told the judge that Rodriguez wants to keep the property and possibly sell it for more than the government would get for it. Rodriguez Valle has not been charged.

Davis asked for more time for his client, who lives in Mexico, to pay taxes that are due, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Nelda Valadez requested the judge give him only 30 days.

“It's in The Dominion, and because we are custodians, we are charged with the maintenance,” Valadez said. “We pay for landscaping, and we have to use the contractor that the Dominion uses.”

Davis also told the judge that he is working with prosecutors to have Mauricio Sánchez, who is also Davis' client, “confront the charges.”
